Casein protein is derived from milk protein, which is mix of whey and casein protein, in 20% : 80% ratio.

Eating Egg Whites vs. Eating Whole Eggs – Are Whole Eggs Better?
There is never ending discussion regarding eating egg whites vs. whole eggs. Problem is rather simple: 10 egg whites have around 35g of protein, 5g of carbohydrates and no fats or fiber and that is 160 kcal for eating 35g of protein. On the other hand, 100g of eggs has 12g of protein, 1g of carbohydrates and 10g of fats - note that 2 medium sized eggs have around 120g.
In order to consume 36g of protein, one has to eat 5 medium sized eggs and that is 36g of protein, 3g of carbohydrates and 30g of fats; that is around 420 kcal for 36g of protein. And that is huge difference.

It must be noted that this is calculated for resting in neutrally temperate environment while digestive system is inactive (at least 12 hours after eating food).
There are several ways for comparing quality of proteins in food. Most often, Protein Biological Value (Protein BV) and Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) are used to compare various protein sources.
